Going to talk partially out of my ass here and say that I wouldn't count on volunteering for sub duty at RTC. 1) I don't remember them asking for such volunteers when I was there. 2) When you sign at MEPS, your rating is going to be either sub or surface, and if they're planning your slot at A school (which they are) they're going to need to know whether to put you in sub school as well.
As for preference, I think I'd have loved the small community of a sub, but hopefully I can get a similar experience on a small boy if I stay in the Navy after leaving my carrier. I'd go insane without sunlight, fresh air, elbow room, and a rack that doesn't smell like two other dudes' balls.
